JQuery: How to run background music in website? [closed]

Question

Please provide any plugin or code link, which will help me in this issue.

Answer 1

I use the JPlayer plugin. It has methods you can call to run audio at any time and without a player.

Answer 2

This is a perfectly good and acceptable question.

If you site consists of more than one page - it's not Flash nor full Ajax (like Gmail) - you have to make sure the player stays on a frame that does not change so that your music does not stop when you click a link.

 ---------------------
|    site content     |
|                     |
|---------------------
|  invisible frame    |
 ---------------------

This will also mean that a problem can arise with searching bots that may point directly into a frame of your site - skipping the index and thus disabling music. If that is not the case you should be fine.

You can then use a sound library SoundManager, like @VoxPelli pointed out, to control your javascript. Do notice that the site @VoxPelli mentions is a great example of a site with music! However when you click on explore the music breaks as the user is directed to a new page. The only way to overcome this is with frames.

Hope it helps!
